I’m excited to announce our very first contest! Who-hoo! Now, do you think I’m giving something away, and all you have to do is leave a comment and get picked? Of course not. Over here at chez practical we value wit more then that. So, Modern Bride has introduced a new ad campaign, “I’m a Modern Bride because…” I’ve included the only adorable ad above. As for the rest, well, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all, right? Except, really? You’re a modern bride because your wedding lasted four days? FOUR DAYS? That is a lot of inconvenience and forced merriment on the part of your guests. When I was small my mother used to tell me that if Christmas was every day, it wouldn’t be fun anymore. The same can be said of weddings.
Which brings me to the contest. Why are you a Practical Bride (or groom)? Leave your answer in the comments. I have two prizes! A copy of One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding for the wittiest answer, and a copy of Miss Manners On {Painfully Proper} Weddings goes to the writer of the wisest answer. Oh yes, and (internet) fame and glory. That goes to both winners. Go for something that will make us laugh, or will make us nod our heads, and murmur “true, true.”
Let’s see what Team Practical can come up with. I’m expecting big things. (Also, you absolutely do not have to be engaged to enter, just a clever writer.)
And… GO! Comments are open for exactly one week (and you can enter as many times as you want)
